This sketch from Khalil Ibrahim shows the artist’s working progress for the composition of the East Coast Series between the 1980’s until 1990’s. The pen on paper sketch depicts his observation of the local people in the village. Just from the sketch alone, the artist’s attention to line and detail is apparent.
